Overview

Plasma Jets is a movement ship system that provides an extreme bonus to top speed and a large bonus to overall maneuverability.

Availability

This ship system is known to be used on the following ships:

• Aurora
• Brawler (TT)
• Guardian

Notes

• Provides the following maneuverability bonuses while active (shown is the max effect):
  • Acceleration: +375%
  • Deceleration: +375%
  • Turn acceleration: +20 and +100%
  • Max turn rate: +15 and +100%
• Stacks with the 0-flux speed bonus.
• Average speed bonus with continuous system use is less than the expected ~51 su/s, since the ship immediately loses the top speed and max turn rate bonuses (and therefore decelerates to base speed and turn rate) during the wind-down.
